|
February 4th - Best NP Wearable

Despite these particles coming from opposing sides of the Faerie Festival, they go together well! Maybe the faeries they are based around could learn a thing or two from them!

This shining item was a prize in the Polar Lights Negg, and is a dazzling addition to any Neopet's overall look!

|
February 9th - Best Site Event
Advent Calendar
The Advent Calendar last year had us all crying in the Food Club for a myriad of reasons. From the touching comics to the fantastic prizes, this wintery event was held by many to be an even bigger success than the year before! The festivities also took an interesting turn when a familiar yet tired face appeared, trying to get the Advent shut down! Luckily, Reina was able to handle the situation and keep the celebration going. Still, we were all left with a mysterious message that not even Queen Fyora could understand!
Winner!
|
April Fools
This event reintroduced an...old friend of Neopia, Nick Neopia and his newly created Sceptic Tank, where he invited us all to question everything! A now self-proclaimed seeker of the truth, Nick flooded Neopia with ads to entice citizens to come to his Sceptic Tank and read all about the lies he had discovered that TNT has been pushing throughout the years. This was, of course, just all a joke. We here at the Neopies would never question what TNT has to say, and we wholeheartedly support them and thank them for their charitable donation to this year's productions!
|
Faerie Festival
Back for the first time in a long time, the Faerie Festival was quite an adventure! Queen Fyora called for the feuding faeries Illusen and Jhudora to run the event, and things went as well as you would expect from putting those two together! They immediately parted ways and ran two separate events, but surprisingly, they came together to track down the reason behind the recent uptick in pollution around Neopia. After taking down the corrupt Malkus Vile and his henchmen, the event came to a close, with the two faeries maybe just being the slightest bit closer...but probably not.
|
Festival of Neggs
This Festival of Neggs was out of this world...literally! It took place on the Virtupets Space Station, where Kari ran the festival, all while helping Mira discover the identity of a mysterious object she found in space that looked peculiarly similar to a Negg! With the help of a few interesting characters, such as Dr. Landelbrot and Orion O. Ophiuchus, they finally got to the truth and found it was an egg to a newly discovered petpet, the Bython!
|
February 10th - Best Petpet Colour
Elderly Gathow
Don't write off elderly petpets! They may be up there in age, but with that comes knowledge and the free time to cuddle up a storm!

|

|
February 11th - Best Neopet Colour

When this look rolled out, it took us all by surprise! It challenged the status quo and really made us rethink what style was! While this design was risky, we think it paid off and gave us the opportunity for really unique customisations!
